So they say being a bat means no childhood...
Those little bats could apparently be annoying. Or at least that's what her sometimes teammate Dollface had been complaining about since said vigilantes had decided to make some seriously frustrating dents in her operations. So when Lyta had been asked to deal with them to keep the little bats out of Dollface's hair she'd taken up the offer eagerly. After all, there hadn't been much to do recently and it was a good deal. Throw a few do gooders for a loop and get a long weekend in Gotham, a fashion center and a truly wonderful place to be pampered, all expenses paid in return? Well she was far more than a mere mortal and she certainly deserved to be treated as such, no reason not to do this.

Her first night in Gotham and Lyta decides to target a bank. Not that she needed the money for this trip but no reason she couldn't benefit while getting the attention of certain Gothamites. A giant hole has been burnt into the safe door and money is shuffling out on its own and packing itself neatly into a giant box she has set out.

	"Hell if I know," comes a very grumpy sounding voice not far from her. He's sitting but his clothes are pooling about him and his mask, now comically too big, is slipping off. "When I get my hands on her..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria looked at Thomas and blinked. "Um...we have a big, or should I say a small problem?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Little Thomas huffs, clearly very annoyed. "It's always something like this with magic. And when you object to using this sort of thing for quick fixes all of a sudden you're the bad guy. Well this sort of nonsense is why I hate magic. Stupid." It then degenerates into grumbling, which oddly fits his now younger look.

He finally tries standing up, which doesn't work too well given that a minute ago he'd been over six feet tall and now he was...rather small. "I guess we have to get back to the cave first."

	Maria put her hands on her hips. "Just how do you think we should do that? We're too small for my bike." She sighed dramatically. "Time to call Bruce." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...we could send a signal for the batmobile and drive it home." Or use autopilot, but he'd be damned if some magic lady was going to make him so useless. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria shook her head. "We'd never hear the end of it from Bruce." She pulled out her cell phone and called Bruce's private number. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not like we'll hear the end about this whole situation anyway," he mutters under his breath and crosses his arms. Autopilot was a perfectly valid way of getting home! The problem would've been getting into the car in these oversized uniforms... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Bruce will be here in ten minutes," she said as she hung up the phone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And we're going to get the lecture about never underestimating magic and how dangerous it is and blah blah blah." He frowns and looks down at his feet. His armoured boots usually went up to the knee, now they pretty much went all the way up his legs. How was he going to walk anywhere?

"And how are we going to move about in these? They're waaay too big. Or at least mine is."

	"We don't move," she said. "Bruce'll bring us clothes that fit." Maria sighed and sat down on the floor. "Talk about embarrassing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm so glad Dick isn't around to see this, he'd call me Shorty all over again," he sighs. "Yes, we got our asses handed to us by some sorceress in our own city and now we can't even walk in our uniforms. The only thing we can hope is that we're cute enough that the old man will cut us some slack." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah but I should've been able to do something. I screwed up again," he berates himself, and tries to kick a nearby potted plant. But the giant boot and cape put him off balance and he lands with a thud on his butt. "I. Hate. Magic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria had to chuckle at Thomas landing on his ass. "Join the club," she said. "I think it's genetic that the bat clan hates magic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He flushes from embarassment and decides to sit in place and wrap his cape around himself, hoping that it might make him look less silly. "Experiences like this don't the impression of magic either. I hope he comes soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It won't take him long," Maria assured Thomas. "You know how he is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I just hope we don't stay like this long...I like being tall," Thomas sighs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Tell me about it. I don't want to go through puberty again and I miss my boobs." It dawned on Maria that she wouldn't be able to have sex for YEARS. They needed to find a solution to this asap. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-05-30 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	It seems a similar thought has dawned on Thomas as he swears quietly under his breath. Sure his 'love life' was confusing as it was but it existed and therefore still counted! This meant no running into frisky thieves after patrol. Yeah, solution needed as fast as possible. Okay, and food. That stomach growl was just a bit too loud to ignore.

	"Well I guess this gives me an unexpected vacation from all of my jobs," Maria mused as she sat down on the floor. "I guess I could use a break." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't get too workaholic yet, you're only in elementary," he laughs and gently lobs a batarang at her. What? He has no doubt she can catch it. Besides it's not like either of them can move at the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2012-05-31 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	Maria deftly caught the batarang and then threw it right back to him. Her eyes went wide. "Do you think he'll make us go to school if this persists?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-05-31 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	He stares at her in wide-eyed horror and catches the batarang at the last moment. "I hope not! We finished that. And then he'll make us dumb ourselves down so it's not suspicious." He tosses the batarang back, continuing their odd game of catch. "Even worse: baby sitters! Or anyone like that to supervise. I am not letting some girl my age put me in time out!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2012-05-31 08:56 pm UTC (link)
	Maria tossed the batarang back. "I'll have to go back to my Mom's or my Dad's. They'll make me go to school. I just know it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cantkeepmeout 2012-05-31 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	There's a long pause and he forgets to toss the batarang back right away. "Oh...I...I didn't think of that. It's just going to be me and the old man?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
